We can all rest easy now; Marvel Studios put out an offer to Jon Favreau to direct Iron Man 2, and it’s a higher salary than he received on Iron Man.

There were some strong indications that Favs might have been out on directing Iron Man 2, especially a story run by IESB.net (via Ain’t It Cool News). But Deadline Hollywood Daily has squashed the rumor and we’ll be seeing Iron Man 2 by 2010.

However, Favs himself has expressed concern about the April 30, 2010 release date. Especially since a script hasn’t been written. Spider-Man 2 came out two years and a couple of months after the first one, and it rocked the house. However, The Dark Knight is coming out three years after Batman Begins, and that seems to make a little more sense. Even X2 came out three years after X-Men.

what are you talking about, Nikke’s is just saying that it was offered, not that it has been accepted, plus, you do realize that Harry knows Jon on a personal level, right?

Who would you believe?

This is obvious damage control from Marvel. Vic should know better than allowing such a retarded article to be posted on screenrant.

Those articles on IESB and AICN forced Marvel to do this today. Sheesh what morons you guys are.

but i think 2010 is a good choice because because we might be seeing spidey back in 2011 and they don’t wanna make trouble with spidey and also when it’s 2 years apart the first one looks a little fresh and they will remember it that the first one was awesome in a short time

I think the budget will be 20% more for IM II @ 150-180 million without P+A budget. Great news with Favs getting the offer. I guess the internet ruckus worked to get information out to the fans faster but there was no way that Marvel could or can save face on IM II without Downey Jr and Favreau..This is solid news!!

i hate this website it used to be great but now its dull u should call it ironman fanatics cause that is all u talk about dont u talk about any thing else apart from that cos its getting boring and me and its just not me my friends have disscused this and thay are thinking of not coming to this website again

Jasper… We talk about almost everything related to fanboy stuff in movies and TV. We are free to post comments as we wish as long as we respect that everyone has the right to their opinion. It would be unfortunate if you decided not to come back to this site because I think it is one of the better websites around for this type of forum. If you want to talk about something else post your comment instead of complaining what everybody else is discussing. Vic does the free-for-all once a week and that pretty much includes everything and anything people are wanting to discuss..Loosen up..and throw it down if you want to discuss something besides Iron Man!! Be glad to debate with you in a respectable manner and tone Dude!!!

It’s okay Jasper, I know how Ironman posts can get you down, depressed and maybe tear up a bit… Not all people can handle one post a week over a 4 week period on Ironman, the most popular movie of the year, at a time when another marvel movie is coming out this week…and another later this year. And shortly after the announcement of 3 more years of marvel movies.. all of which have a little bit, just a little litttle bit to do with Ironman and that young man Jon Favreau.

But that’s okay. Good luck Jasper on your non-Ironman movie website future. I hope you have a blast! I’ll be missing you. And your friends who you talk about movie website themes with in real life.
